Civil engineering has lost its charm after the IT industry has taken over. The placement statistics of the branch have witnessed a drastic decline over the past few years. In 2022, the NIT Calicut BTech Civil Engineering recorded the following figures
|
Students Placed |
86 out of 98 |
|
Highest CTC |
INR 11.4 LPA |
|
Average CTC |
INR 7.36 LPA |
The primary reason for the poor placement scenario is the lack of industry in that specific location. Other South Indian NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal offer better industry exposure and have more promising scenarios. NIT Calicut lacks transport facilities so most construction companies prefer visiting the nearest NIT rather than traveling all the way to Calicut. Another reason for the poor placement scenario here is the low performance of the senior batches of the branch.
However, the situation is gradually improving as the institute has been adopting measures to support students pursuing internships at IITs and other industries.

Unlike many other premium engineering institutes, IIIT Allahabad offers a number of enriching experiences apart from the curriculum. There is a scope of exploring the writer inside you by becoming a part of the literary club and spending your time reading/writing. This has been one of the most successful and enriching ways to spend a weekend.
If your home is nearby, (Lucknow or Kanpur) you have a good chance of visiting home at the weekend. Moreover, there are a number of tournaments and championships also being continuously organized on campus to keep the students active and develop them holistically. There are coding competitions and championships organized too.
Taking a stroll during the nights inside the campus is a beauty of its own. It’s a massive campus with lots of trees which gives peace of mind specially needed for the weekends. You might also want to utilize your time to finish all your uncompleted assignments, projects and other academic related documents.
If you love traveling, you can plan a very nice trip to Varanasi from Allahabad.

A few of my friends recently graduated from Kongu Engineering College (KEC). Here is what they have to say about the institute.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
These are a few of the things that you should know before you choose KEC for your studies.
No, the research trips to Hopkins are not sponsored by AIIMS Delhi and the students alone have to bear the expenses of the same.
It’s the students who initiate the process and executive everything without any help from the institute.
They start by sending their CV to the professor, getting the required medical tests done, booking the tickets, visa and looking for a decent place to stay. On some occasions, AIIMS Delhi even opposes its students going to Hopkins at the expense of missing classes here.
Personally, I feel even if the trip is unsponsored the expenses you bear are worth the result. You are exposed to a foreign work culture and learn so many new things you would never have been able to in India. You also get to explore different places!
